METAL MARINES!! It's crude, but yes, this is an RTS game.

and I remembered I played it before I even had a playstation!

Metal Marines was fun too, although it relied a bit too much on luck for my liking. So frustrating when a single missile gets through heavy defenses. Later missions were very tricky, too, since the opponent would get a huge headstart.

good old starcraft 64!

Ditto.

My brother and a friend and I were going out of town for the weekend and we were allowed to rent one game for the N64 we brought. I was really upset with the choice and pitched a fit, but I was completely mesmerized when they started playing it.

Starcraft: Brood War -

I saw my friend playing it when I was a little child, but thought it was an easy game because my friend was playing single player with le cheats. Picked it up 2-3 years later, and realized how awesome it actually is ;D

Warcraft II... I deluded myself into thinking it was better than Starcraft for quite some time :|

warcraft 1 was the first one for me, but I found it quite difficult as I was very young and ended up not really playing it that much. But when we got warcraft 2 the right click to move made it much easier for me to play and I played the shit out of it! :D

Definitely one of the following:

C&C (before the RA and Counterstrike expansions)...good ole GDI/NOD.
Warcraft 2.
Starcraft - I remember getting this NEW as the BattleChest for Christmas in 1999. That was an epic year, as I got Super Smash Bros as well (on my shiny new N64 :D). Needless to say, not much school stuff got done that year

I played the SHIT out of this game. Probably a couple hundred hours total. I even did pretty well online. (With my really expensive 18.8kbps connection too) After a year, I went to the store to buy the expansion

Oh hey what's this game with the wierd guy on the front? Starcraft? I'm gonna try that out...
And the rest is history.

this is ironically the same as me...lol
i played the shit out of AoE and AoE 2

AoE was awesome, though i never learned how to MACRO (lol) until sc...and now i rape in AoE a lot more than i used to lol

then in my freshman year of highschool learned about Starcraft and well now im the best in the school ^___^ (2nd best graduated but was C- before so we were pretty even lol ^___^)

Can't remember if it was Megalomania or Dune 2. I know Populous was the first GodSim I ever played and, in fact, apparently the first ever godsim, but that's not really the same thing is it?

I can't remember which one was the first I've played, but I remember playing Jurassic wars and KKND. I loved those games. I still have KKND box on my shelf.

WC2 Demo!

I still remember how I struggled with the 3rd level where the opponent had ogres/knights and you couldn't build them yourself

Dune 2 too.

I still remember the test in which you had to give a unit name, half of the time i would fail miserably since i had a pirate version of the game (plus i never knew if in french you had to put accent or not :s ).

My first 6 in order were:
wc2
c&c
wc1
sc
aoe
sc2
SC2 is my first new RTS in 11 years.
edit: I believe I played a couple other really shitty RTS games over the years but gave up on them so fast that I dont count them.
